Influenza typically hits you for about a week. Make sure he drinks plenty to counteract dehydration. Warm juice is best as it helps the body fight the infection.

If any of his symptoms worry you, ask your doctor for help.
Especially if he is asthmatic or has other breathing disorders for example.

I know, its says "womens health" but ignore that!

It's too late for antivirals.

If his cough gets really bad, he should see a doctor because he could get a secondary infection.

Poor dad. Stay away from him and wash your hands. Don't let him wander around the house fixing dinner and doing chores. It will just spread that way.
